My teaching philosophy


An intellectual teacher brings the best out of a child, no matter the situation of a child is.I'm going to be that teacher who will make thoughtful,caring decisions and reach beyond the limitations and constrains of my own background and my current circumstance to consider alternative interpretations and possibilities.I will constantly make decisions and formulate ideas about educational goals,practices and outcomes.

My purpose as a foundation phase teacher is to guide and enlighten my fellow learners to develop with regards to any aspect in life.This ability for guidance can only comes through two ’E’s.Expertise and experience,which are closely linked to each other.With the absence of expertise teacher will not be able to showcase his or her students what is to be done so that they  are walking in the right path or progress and such expertise can only come through experience.

I’ll be a pedagogical content knowledge teacher who will have a good understanding of  which methods are most appropriate for teaching specific content,also have a through understanding of the misconceptions learner typically hold on specific and address these in my teaching.I will apply a caring pedagogy as it would help me as a teacher to respond outside of my usual and practiced ways of knowing and being in the world and the classroom.It can guide me to find my own voice on issue of social justice in teaching curricula and my learners with their learning material.I see this as a trans formative approach to teaching and learning that challenge the routine of automatic acceptance of traditional roles of a teacher and learner.It can break the routine of the traditionally accepted curriculum and offer you and your learners greater  autonomy loy of defining how learning is related to issues that affect lives,including the lives of marginalized groups in society.

The roles of a learner in the teaching and learning is to strive to comply with all behavior expectation,behavioral expectation that are verbally outline and posted as part of the classroom management plan should be incorporated into each child’s daily routine and life skill Set.It is imperative that students strive to comply with all academic expectation in the classroom,this is not only for the benefit of the individual student,but also for the benefit of the entire class.Students must show respect for themselves and others,this is the most vital thing a student can do to contribute to a quality learning environment and reducing disciplinary distraction. Being late to class can course a major distraction to all student in class and negatively impact the academic progress of the student who is tardy

My role as a teacher is to be sensitive to the diverse needs of my learner,and i must have the ability to construct appropriateness and demonstrate sound knowledge.I will do as am expected to do as a teacher to understand and interpret existing learning programs and to manage my classroom activities,carry out administrative duties and participate in school structures.I will conduct researches about every change in the process of learning and teaching and lead by a good example.Being well grounded in knowing skills, values,principles,methods and procedures reverent to my field is important.

As a teacher,ethical values must be appropriate and respected all the time,for example teaching good and ethics and apply them in every situation is a must.Focusing on developing set values in each teacher and student based on hard work diligence is very important.If individuals are not ethical,i would focus more on action and what caused them rather on the results.As a leader i’am required to possess ability to communicate,motivate,delegate to people in a meaningful ways.Working with families requires additional skills in audience sensitivity and public relationship,and working with children needs patience,as it a mother of success to teach them ethics.Teacher effectiveness is important for school and children success and is highly connected to student growth in learning.I will try by al means to be an effective teacher, by supervise, observe appraisal ,and also mentor and coach the children.The way to prove teacher effectiveness is to  provide them with support,mentoring and couching.

I choose teaching as a career because education is the key to success, in order to be successful in life we need it,that why we have to respect and protect it.I will be an expert teacher,who always keep things professional both in school and community for the better future in education.
